XK Navigation Discs


Recommended Posts

Has there been any progress in  the availability of an updated navigation  DVD disc for (in my case a 2013 XK) - I'm about to tak my car to Spain and am anxious I don't end up lost because my Sat Nav has 2013/14 maps?

Thanks

Don

Hi Don, no there are no "official" DVD updates for the Satnav in your 2013 XK, indeed the discs you have are likely older than that - 2010 - 2012.

Do not be tempted to scour the internet for DVD that claim to be updates for the Satnav in your car as the use of these supposedly update discs, by others, has caused significant corruption and in some cases failure of the unit, making use of the touchscreen difficult or not accessible at all.

The simplest method to achieve up to date Satnav is to purchase a decent / secure phone cradle and use your Smartphone Apps - even Google Maps. You could also purchase a decent Garmin or similar. Or, if you want to go full upgrade, then there are companies, such as Cartronics, who can fit and install Apple CarPlay / Android Auto capability to your model. This upgrade would be circa £1500 and you need to take the car to their workshop in Surrey. You can view the Cartronics website at the link below.

I'm afraid I have to disagree rearding the availability of disks - my (MY2014) XKR came with a 2013-2014 DVD installed (see photo attached) which I subsequently replaced with a 2019 disk (looks exactly the same other than the dates) - this is the last 'official' disk for the car and is available from various sources including eBay for £20-25.

There are stories of newer versions (I believe utilising Volvo maps) but as N6 has stated, be very wary of them as they may well do more harm than good....

Despite the branding and assertion, these are NOT made and / or sold by Jaguar Cars Ltd, so a bit ingenuous to say "Original". Most of these discs are sold via eBay sellers, with strange sounding names. Many are also sold in "plain packaging" because they don't bother to go to the exercise of creating proper packaging.

Fine if it works for your good self, but I personally don't trust them and in all consciousness, cannot recommend them to anyone.

Fair enough - not looking for an argument, just trying to help out a fellow member based on my experience and considerable research before I bought my upgrade disk.....

Hello Jim & Graham - many thanks for your comments about updated DVD discs for the XK, much appreciated.

I have installed the latest updates on my TomTom and will use that on my trip to Spain - It's a bit sad I think that Jaguar have not seen fit to have updates available for their Navigation System, my car is only 11 years old for goodness sake.
